Hey guys, I've read all 88 pages and 1,308 replies on this thread but I'm sad to say I actually still have a question I have an early build 2015 Sierra Denali HD with Duramax and DL3/A45. If I buy the door harnesses only and not the RZY harness will the powerfold tow mirrors work as intended from the factory or will I still need to hardwire certain functions? If this was covered I must have missed it. Thanks for everyone blazing the trail on this topic, I may be a tad late to the party!

I had the dl3/a45 and i only needed the door harnesses. All of the options worked without extra wiring. The only extra wiring i did was to make the back of the mirrors clearance light work as both turn signal and clearance light.

Thanks, was yours an early build 2015 or a 2015.5?

Ok, I have a 2015 Silverado LTZ Z71 truck that had small mirrors. I have changed them out with the new chrome tow mirrors and everything works except the amber lights (only light when you unlock from key fob), the cargo light and no powerfold (had powerfold before). So after reading this thread I see that I need the door harnesses so when I go to gmpartsdirect, I can only find one harness in which the part number exist and that is the one that was replaced: 23342716 (was 23171567).

 

And should I only need the door harnesses and not the jumper?

 

Thanks!

Can anyone confirm what sort harnesses I need for my truck? 2015 Silverado double cab with DL8 mirrors. I've seen two different charts that have different part numbers listed as the harnesses that I need.

Part numbers have been superseded by new ones. So regardless of the chart you're reading you should be fine either way.

 

Just cross reference your RPO codes accordingly.

You're saying that either door harnesses would work then? Cause one was about $80 per door and the other was $100 per door.

No that's not what I said. I said, in short, don't be worried about which chart you're reading. If it came from GM then the source is reliable. Part numbers did change on some of those harnesses. I can't verify who you're buying them from so I don't know the authenticity of their information.

 

If you want the correct harnesses, I sell them for $190/pair shipped.

Hey guys, for those of you that ran power to the white leds, how did you route the wire into the cab through the door jamb? Is there any way to keep the wires hidden?

 

For the marker lights as running lights, is there a way to identify what wire goes to the amber lights but on the truck side of the harness or bcm and utilize those instead of running a new power wire to them? We know the orange wire is the wire on the mirror harness, but which wire from the truck runs to that one?

 

Sorry if this has been covered previously.

I have a 2017 1500 NHT, so these are factory installed

The led reverse lights only function if the dash switch for bed lighting is enabled

They do not have auto dimming, only center rear view does in my SLT

I can attest that they are great mirrors, excellent rear visibility and the led lamps are great backup assistance

I upgraded from DL3 mirrors to DQS mirrors on my '15 Denali 1500 today, and I'm pleased to report that everything "just worked" – power adjust, power fold (door switch and key fob), memory, reverse tilt, turn signals, clearance lights (on anytime the orange lights in the headlights are on), and rear-facing LEDs (come on with cargo switch and stay on in reverse). I didn't need to have any BCM or memory module programming performed. I purchased the mirrors (23241465 / 23241467) and door harnesses (23171564 / 23171567) from gmpartsdirect. No need for the RZY harness per the table from page 75. All said and done, it took me about 3.5 hours, including a couple of careless mistakes like forgetting to reconnect the door handle cable on the passenger door when I first put the panel back on. The trickiest part was removing the faux-wood panel on each door. Swapping out the door harnesses was easier than I expected. I had one panic moment after swapping the passenger harness and mirror but not reinstalling the door panel — the turn signals, clearance lights and rear-facing LEDs worked, but it wouldn't unfold or adjust. It occurred to me that even though there are no mirror buttons on the passenger door, those functions might not work without the door lock and window switches connected. Sure enough, once they were connected, the mirror was fully functional.

I received great customer service from gmpartsdirect. I called them once shortly after placing my order because as I was checking out they sent me a "We want your business" $20 off coupon and figured it was worth a shot to see if they would apply it to the order I already placed. They did. Then I called them again after I got shipping confirmation because I noticed one of the part numbers was different than what I originally ordered - 23241465 was now 23351794. They confirmed that the parts were interchangable. Still not sure what that's all about, like if 23351794 is the new part number or what, but as far as I can tell it's the correct mirror. If you order from gmpartsdirect, create an account with items in your cart, and then hang out for a minute. You'll probably get an email with a coupon. I ordered everything on 05/07, it shipped (standard shipping) on 05/10 and arrived 05/16.

This is the trim removal kit I used:

I ordered it on May 11, but it's now showing unavailable. This is the same kit, but doesn't include the fastener removers:

I ended up using the smaller fastener remover quite a bit, so I'd recommend picking one up. This is fancier than what came with my kit but should work:

I wasn't sure how the big mirrors were going to look on a stock 1/2 ton with no level or lift. Like maybe they'd look ridiculously oversized or something. I found a bunch of pictures on here, but it was kind of hard to tell. Now that they're on, I like the way they look just fine, and the extra visibility is awesome. I'll probably go into the settings and disable the reverse tilt feature because the lower convex mirrors show way more of my curved driveway than the tilted mirrors ever did, and my driveway is long enough that the tilt times out before I reach the end anyway. I'm excited to see how well they work pulled out with our Airstream next weekend.

Someone here mentioned the trade off with big camper mirrors is that you end up with somewhat limited forward visibility. So far I haven't noticed this being an issue, but I can see how I might need to look closer for pedestrians at crosswalks. I always felt like the DL3s created a bit of a forward blind spot due to basically being an extension of the A pillar, especially when making a tight left turn. The other thing that is going to take some getting used to, is that the mirrors react to bumps and rough pavement more than the DL3. I hesitate to say they "shake", but they definitely move. I think it's just a physics thing with them sticking out further. If I grab them at the base and wiggle them, they move the whole truck, so it's not that they're loose.

One last thing and I'll stop rambling: For those of you that have done this upgrade, have you had any issues with the turn signal brightness referenced in this TSB? I haven't driven at night yet so I don't know if it will be a problem. I can tell that the turn signal LEDs are not diffused the way they were on the smaller mirrors.

Do you know if GM will honor the warranty despite these being added after the fact? Think I'd work with a dealership for the warranty or contact gmpartsdirect to see if they'll send me the new mirror glass (23444110)? I'd rather not spend an extra $71 if I don't have to. Maybe this is the reason the mirror I got had a different part number – it might already have that glass installed. We'll see.

Thanks to those of you here that have posted their experience, opinions, videos and images. I'm not sure I'd have tackled this without these 84 pages of messages.

 

Very Nice! I ordered from gmpartsdirect and they were offering 10% off military and law enforcement. I will be installing these as soon as it all arrives.

Yes, excellent write up.
